I wrote about Kybel’s slow-burn romance on Roswell NM.
I dive into that unforgettable run-in at Planet 7, some of their best pep talks, & Kyle’s longing stares.

Malex Thanksgiving Ficlet
Just a little holiday fluff.
Read it on AO3
When Michael decided he wanted to host Thanksgiving, he imagined a table covered in delicious, picture perfect food, with their friends and family gathered around it, smiling and laughing. It was nothing like that.
Michael was so worried about undercooking the turkey that it was quite possibly the driest thing any of them had ever tasted. Alex had underestimated the amount of time it would take the mashed potatoes to boil so by the time he finished them, the sweet potatoes were cold and had to be reheated. The crock pot blew a fuse, and Michael cut his hand opening the green beans and bled into the casserole so they had to start it again.
But Maria brought Mimi’s famous cornbread stuffing, and Greg had taken up baking during the pandemic and made rolls that rivaled any bakeries. The turkey wasn’t bad if you poured enough gravy on it, and no one was more surprised than Alex when his mashed potatoes were deemed worth the wait.
Michael - exhausted from getting up at 3am to start the turkey - fell asleep during Dallas’s blessing. But Dallas made Max cry so everyone was too busy teasing him to notice Alex nudge Michael awake. Kyle keeps checking the football scores on his phone, and Bonnie and Rosa get into a loud debate about some band only the two of them have ever heard of.
Liz forgot the pies, but Isobel brought double the wine requested and that seems to make up for it. After Isobel breaks three glasses trying to clear the table with telekinesis, Kyle takes over and cleans the kitchen to surgical precision. Alex makes popcorn everyone is too full to eat, and Kyle finally gets to watch the late game.
Alex and Michael fall asleep on the couch while Max and Dallas are bringing the tree in from the garage. When they wake up the house is empty and quiet, the tree is up, the lights strung, and the ornament boxes stacked neatly next to it.
Alex yawns and hugs Michael to him. “Wow, that was. . .”
“A disaster.”
“Perfect.”
They say at the same time.
“Best Thanksgiving of my life,” Alex tells him sincerely.
“Mine too,” Michael agrees. “But we’re not doing it again, right.”
“Hell no,” Alex says, then catches the way Michael winces. “You already invited them for Christmas, didn’t you?”
“I love you,” is Michael’s only reply.
“I love you too,” Alex sighs. “There’s always catering.”
“Or a Christmas miracle.”
